We join the heav'nly throng, and celebrate with all our pow'rs in endless song. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:12 Used With Tune: LEONI Text Sources: Hebrew "Yigdal"

I come with joy, a child of God

Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 77 hymnals Topics: Proper 8 Year A Lyrics: 1 I come with joy, a child of God, forgiven, loved and free, the life of Jesus to recall, in love laid down for me. 2 I come with Christians far and near to find, as all are fed, the new community of love in Christ's communion bread. 3 As Christ breaks bread, and bids us share, each proud division ends. The love that made us, makes us one, and strangers now are friends. 4 The Spirit of the risen Christ, unseen, but ever near, is in such friendship better known, alive among us here. 5 Together met, together bound by all that God has done, we'll go with joy, to give the world the love that makes us one.

O calm of hills above, where Jesus knelt to share with thee the silence of eternity, interpreted by love! Interpreted by love! 4 Drop thy still dews of quietness, till all our strivings cease; take from our souls the strain and stress, and let our ordered lives confess the beauty of thy peace, the beauty of thy peace. 5 Breathe through the heats of our desire thy coolness and thy balm; let sense be dumb, let flesh retire; speak through the earthquake, wind and fire, O still small voice of calm! O still small voice of calm! Scripture: 1 Kings 19:9-18 Used With Tune: REPTON

God moves in a mysterious way

Author: William Cowper (1731-1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,150 hymnals Topics: Proper 8 Year C Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way his wonders to perform; he plants his footsteps in the sea, and rides upon the storm. 2 Deep in unfathomable mines of never-failing skill he treasures up his bright designs, and works his sovereign will. 3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take; the clouds ye so much dread are big with mercy, and shall break in blessings on your head. 4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, but trust him for his grace; behind a frowning providence he hides a smiling face. 5 His purposes will ripen fast, unfolding every hour; the bud may have a bitter taste, but sweet will be the flower. 6 Blind unbelief is sure to err, and scan his work in vain; God is his own interpreter, and he will make it plain.
